Compact Galley Kitchen Refresh

Purpose & footprint

Design details

• Budget-smart galley kitchen refresh — roughly 90 sf
• A budget-smart galley refresh that keeps the existing cabinet boxes and repaints them a soft putty-green with new matte black knobs. Warm oiled butcher-block counters run the full length of both sides, under a warm white ceramic tile backsplash stacked to the uppers. One short run of uppers gives way to two open oak shelves for everyday ceramics, two small matte black cone pendants march down the centerline, and durable oak-look luxury vinyl plank replaces the floor. Daylight from the end window bounces down the corridor. The intent: maximum feel-change per dollar, no layout moves.

Illustrative allocation of the overall planning allowance across trades; these are not independently verified trade quotes. Site-specific costs may exceed these allowances.

Project assumptions

• Cabinet boxes sound enough to repaint — verified on site
• Appliances stay; no layout or plumbing relocations
• Butcher block needs periodic re-oiling by the owner
• Permits limited to the new lighting circuit if required

Options

• Keep sound existing components where compatible.
• Compare stock, semi-custom and custom selections before ordering.
• Confirm samples in the room’s natural light.

Trades & site requirements

• Qualified plumbing and electrical trades as required; confirm existing shutoffs, ventilation and service capacity.
• Check access, working clearances, occupied-home protection, waste removal and delivery space.
• Check substrate condition, moisture and concealed services before installation.

Permits & engineering

• Verify local permit requirements and HOA restrictions before work; this concept does not establish an exemption.
• Confirm wet-area waterproofing, ventilation and electrical requirements with qualified trades.

Sequence & duration

• Measure and inspect → confirm scope and selections → check approvals → order materials → protect the site → install → inspect and finish.
• 6–10 weeks
• Installation window excludes design, approvals, fabrication lead times and unforeseen repairs.

Estimate basis & inclusions

• $3,600–$13,050
• Adjusted sample planning allowance. Feasibility at this budget has not been verified against current supplier and trade quotes.
• Covers only the stated quantities and installation scope; decorative objects and adjacent rooms are not included.
• Site condition, access, material choice, waste, permit requirements and concealed damage can change the written quote.

Exclusions & unknowns

• Exact product selection and current availability are unknown.
• Concealed damage, structural repair and utility relocation are excluded unless explicitly scoped.
• Permit and engineering fees, taxes and contingency require confirmation; they are not guaranteed included.
• Furniture, styling and loose appliances are excluded unless explicitly listed.

Care & maintenance

• Use manufacturer-approved cleaners; inspect grout, seals and exposed water connections regularly.
• Final maintenance instructions depend on the products selected.

Next steps

• Save the concept and note what you want to keep or change.
• Bring room dimensions and existing-condition photos to a walkthrough.
• Confirm a written scope, selections, permit needs and site-specific quote before work.
